Abstract New technologies present many distractions for students' attention. In response, business law faculty can implement rich in‐class exercises, in order to re‐attract students' attention by carefully integrating law with strategy. This article offers two such in‐class, integrative, contract‐law exercises. In one, students negotiate, draft, and execute a complete sales contract, all within one‐hour. In the other, students analyze complete contracts, on the basis of whether they meet specified strategic business objectives. By developing and using more in‐class exercises like these, business law faculty will demonstrate to all the essential lens of law in educating ethical and effective business leaders.
