Does a judge’s past grant rate predict my case?

No. These are observational statistics attributed to EOIR judge codes, not a prediction or assessment of a named person’s entire career. Case mix, period, representation and custody can differ. For individual advice, consult a qualified legal representative.

Why is a grant rate or ranking missing?

We display a rate only with at least 2 merits decisions and rank judges or court comparisons only with at least 30. Small samples can vary widely. A missing rate is not a zero grant rate.
