Potential data we'll be gathering:

• Picture (website)
• News Articles (Google)
• Office
  • Address
  • Contact
• Prosecution History
  • This is the hard part, the dataset that hasn't even been conceived of / published. Our brainstorming session last night includes:
    • LexisNexis/WestLawNex
    • Court Records
    • Bar Association
    • Crime Statistics (working backwards)
• Trend Visualizations
  • Optional

See the tutorial for how to get setup (below).
