Where can I go to find info about judges before deciding whether to apply to them for a clerkship? Info such as: political ideology, what schools they usually take clerk froms, types of cases on their docket, how nice they are, etc.. Thanks!

politics: what President was he/she appointed by
schools: typically look at schools of state where judge sits plus smattering of T14
types of cases: habe, social security, etc... ya know, federal stuff - or, use westlaw/lexis to look at their previous cases
how nice they are: who cares its a clerkship and sticks with you on your little firm bio thing forever
if state court clerkship answers change
