Dear Freepinters

I'm training students on search skills (law resources) and they have trouble thinking of alternative keywords when they're searching Google and Lexis/other legal databases. They know what they're looking for, but can't think of what topic it might be under or an alternative name e.g. employment or labour. I was looking for something like a keyword generator or online legal thesaurus that might help with this process. Any advice gratefully received!

BTW, I was just looking through the Extreme Searcher's Guide to Web Search Engines and came across an entry for FreePint! You guys get everywhere...
