Can someone explain to me how the Society gets involved in these cases?
I don't understand amicus curiae etc.
What I don't understand is who iniates these legal proceedings anyway. Would this sister, an illegal immigrant, normally bring more attention to herself, after having the 'out' of being forced a transfusion (so she doesn't get DA'd), by sueing the hospital? Wouldn't you be thankful just to be alive, and let the matter drop?
How does the society's involvement work? Do they have attorneys who, in effect, defend the sister?
Would the society voluntarily defend a witness who was being sued for a business deal that went bad?
And where do all these huge costs come from? And was this sister gonna donate the money to the society if she won?
I read these posts about court cases about blood, and I can never figure out how the society is actually involved, because how can the society sue a hospital if it forces a transfusion on someone - only the person can sue - or am i wrong?
