One character says they "want to know everything" about another character's personal life in a way that's invasive and discriminatory. It's not shown on screen but it's implied they had people stalk the protagonist off screen.

Primarily IV lines, you do not see needles being injected into skin, but do see them placed into the IV.

To convey disorientation due to his illness, shots of the courtroom in Andrew Beckett's point of view become lopsided, not quite shakey cam.

A witness who lost a lot of blood during childbirth and thereby contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion mentions it in passing, but there is no childbirth on screen.

It is discussed, but not shown. It is not discussed explicitly but in more courtroom friendly terms.

While the main character, Andrew Beckett, does die at the conclusion of the movie, he wins his case just before his death. His death is expected, inevitable, and discussed through the duration of the movie.
