Throughout the dissertation, I used data from the
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse(TRAC), a project of Syracuse University that relies on FOIA court data to reconstruct the case load of the courts.
Asylum decisions are useful barometers of discretion, since asylum is a discretionary
benefit that tends to receive the most consistent statistical reporting. Using Transactional Records
Access Clearinghouse (2017b)data on asylum cases between 2009 and 2014 across all judges and
all courts, the average rate of success for asylum applications was 41.9%. When narrowed to the
rates of success by judge, the picture grows considerably diverse.
