This is the first such annual event co-sponsored by the Medical Reserve Corps, the National Disaster Medical System, the Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals, and the Office of Force Readiness and Deployment. Held in Dallas TX in early April, the Summit was attended by over 300 people.

Professor David Matz visited China in February as part of a four person delegation sponsored by the American Bar Association, the Massachusetts Council of Judges, and the University of Massachusetts, with funding provided by USAID. The delegation met with the China Law Society, the law faculty of Beijing University, and high court judges to design mediation training for Chinese lawyers and judges. The training itself will be offered in China in June.
