Conservative and liberal circuit courts.

[Margo Schlanger]

Hi all --

I'm hoping someone has a citation (with defensible method) handy for something you hear often; which circuits are conservative and which are liberal.  Treatments of the courts of appeals are fine; anything dealing with the district courts organized into circuits would be even better.  Any thoughts?  (Off-list is fine; and I know this isn't, strictly speaking, a constitutional law question, but I'm hoping our moderator will indulge me.)

Thanks.
