From Deportation Data Project FOIA release
Lifetime aggregates use the same methodology as the per-judge trailing-12-month rates in the roster below — only the time window differs, which is why the two views can show different percentages.
Across all recorded asylum decisions, the Newark Immigration Court has a lifetime grant rate of 34.4%, based on 33,410 merit decisions released by the EOIR under FOIA. This figure is weighted across every immigration judge who has sat at this court and uses the standard methodology of cases granted divided by cases granted plus cases ordered removed.
94 immigration judges currently appear in the FOIA-released EOIR data for the Newark Immigration Court. Each judge's per-case statistics are listed in the judge roster on this page; lifetime grant rates per judge can diverge from the court-wide aggregate because of caseload mix and decision volume.
Case-level outcomes were released by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) under the Freedom of Information Act and republished by the Deportation Data Project (UC Berkeley). Aggregates are corroborated by TRAC Immigration (Syracuse University). See the methodology footer for source links.
No. The grant rate is a statistical aggregate over completed decisions; it is not a prediction. Individual case outcomes depend on case-specific merits, evidence, country conditions, and the quality of counsel. This page is informational and does not constitute legal advice.
