Immigration Judge TWJ

Case Insights: Judge TWJ

Immigration Judge TWJ has issued 1,647 recorded decisions at the CLE in the DOJ EOIR dataset. Of those decisions, 856 resulted in relief granted (52.0%), 23 were denied (1.4%), and 768 fell into other dispositions such as administrative closures, changes of venue, or withdrawals (46.6%). That volume places Judge TWJ among a substantial docket at the CLE.

The gap between the grant rate and the denial rate is 50.6 percentage points, which categorizes this judge's outcome pattern as roughly balanced 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 CLE itself has multiple judges whose grant rates can vary widely, so the best way to contextualize Judge TWJ's numbers is to compare against court-wide figures and against peers on the same bench. The court page for CLE 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.
