Fillette describes the Alexander v. Hill case of 1974-1975. Carrying over from his earlier discussion regarding laws that disfavored low-income tenants, Fillette explains how the Legal Aid Society of Mecklenburg County sought to challenge the AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) to respond to filed grievances and provide relief within the determined window of time. To a large degree, the case centered around whether or not pregnant women could apply for Medicaid in order to receive prenatal care. The case eventually became statewide in scope and in 1975, they received a temporary order from Judge James McMillan to make the state comply with federal processing regulations.
