Judges do not choose their cases, and grant rates differ a lot by condition. “Board, same conditions” is what the rest of the Board decided for the same mix of conditions, so the comparison is fair to the judge's docket. This is not a ranking.

How these numbers are calculated

  • Issue rates count each condition the Board decided in a decision once, by the outcome of that issue. A decision can grant one issue and deny another.
  • The yearly table counts decisions: a decision with a granted issue and a denied issue appears in both columns, so a row can add up to more than 100%.
  • "Board, same conditions" weights the rest of the Board's grant and remand rate for each condition by how many of this judge's issues were on that condition. It does not adjust for evidence, hearing type or representation.
  • Judges are identified from the signature on each decision. This page is a statistical summary, not an evaluation of any judge.
  • The data comes from CaseScribe's AI extraction of public BVA decisions (2025–2025) and can contain errors. It is updated automatically as new decisions are added.
