Researching a judge in Westlaw/Lexis? Forum

Can we research judges with our student access to West/Lexis? I noticed LexisNexis has judicial profiling option in the Total-Litigator, but it does not appear to be available to students. Haven't tried Westlaw yet however, are there any suggestions on how to proceed?

Westlaw, use the databased PROFILER-WLD and it will let you search for judges. You can then view their cases, reversal reports, dockets, etc.

In Westlaw you can also include "JU(judge's name)" in the search box

Also, your local bar association might have a poll up on judges and you can see how local lawyers rank them.
