How to Interpret These Judge Statistics
Richard A. Jamadar is listed with the Orlando, FL Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 8.5% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.
Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (905 decided, 2.1% grant rate), Guatemala (554 decided, 1.3% grant rate), and Venezuela (435 decided, 19.1% grant rate).
