Immigration Judge SC2

Case Insights: Judge SC2

Immigration Judge SC2 has issued 13,391 recorded decisions at the CHL in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 10,220 resulted in relief granted (76.3%), 15 were denied (0.1%), and 3,156 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (23.6%). That volume places Judge SC2 among one of the higher-volume dockets at the CHL.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 76.2 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as grant-leaning relative to national EOIR norms. Because every case before an immigration judge depends on nationality, relief type, representation status, and country conditions, these aggregate rates are not a predictor of any single future decision. TRAC Immigration and DOJ EOIR both caution readers to interpret judge-level rates as descriptive rather than prescriptive statistics.

The CHL itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge SC2's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for CHL lists all sitting judges and their recorded outcome rates, making side-by-side comparison of caseloads and grant percentages straightforward for researchers, attorneys, and respondents.
