"These people represent the finest talent in the profession," noted Alan Weiss, Ph.D. who conducts the Colleges three time a year. "They are the best of the best in terms of methodology, integrity, client satisfaction, and contributions to the profession. And they are highly innovative, as attested by their enrolling in the first graduate school of its kind."

He has published numerous articles and books on the profitable running of law firms, is a frequent speaker at Bar Association conferences and law firm retreats, and has been certified as Coach to the Legal Profession by the Society for Advancement of Consulting as well as inducted as a Fellow of the College of Law Practice Management, an world organization of elite practice management advisers.

The Million Dollar Consulting College and Graduate School entail intense on-site work; challenges in case studies, role plays, and group exercises; interaction with client executives, financial experts, legal experts, and professional image consultants; focus on technology; and innovative approaches to client service and value-based results. The school was founded in 2005 by Alan Weiss, whom the New York Post describes as "one of the most highly respected independent consultants in the country," and all students are personally mentored by him for over a year. There is no equivalent development in the entire consulting profession.
