Do Clouds form in front or behind a cold a cold front?

Both, really. But they are best developed in the area of the front itself because that is typically where the greatest lift is. Ahead of the front, there is more instability so you tend to get smaller cumuloform clouds. Behind it, clouds usually move out fairly rapidly as the atmosphere quickly stabilizes, removing the lift. Refer to my link for a diagram of this.
