Where to look up a judges case record?

Question

I am trying to find a record on a particular District Judge in my hometown. Does anyone know if there is a web site, where I could enter his info, and see the cases he presided over?

I am interested, because he has been in the news alot in my hometown, and the news is reporting he is one of the toughest judges on DWI and drug possession, yet just last week he let a two time meth dealer go home, with un-supervised probation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. In New Mexico by the way.

Lexis Nexis or Westlaw will provide the cases of his from which appeals have been taken.

PACER may yield some information, but it won't be terribly useful.

The district court's website may have some decision search capabilities, but they're usually not very well refined.

Ah, the two time meth dealer go home trick. Judge is doing you a favor because he, and the State,  knows he will be back at which point there will be potential for habitual offender status.

Feeding him the rope.

Ask the Judge, or his JA, I don't think he would be offended and it may provide a positive experience for you.
