69 judges

Lists are ordered by number of decisions, not by grant rate: a best-to-worst ranking of this data would mislead.

Judges with fewer than 50 decisions are not listed: at that sample size the percentage is noise rather than a characteristic. Their pages still open by direct link.

How this percentage is calculated
Grant rate = granted / (granted + denied). Administrative closures, withdrawals, abandonment and "not adjudicated" are excluded from the denominator. The unit of count is a decision per proceeding, not per application: applicants almost always file asylum, withholding and CAT protection together. Withholding and CAT grants are counted separately from asylum. U.S. fiscal year: October 1 – September 30.
