Born in Searcy, Arkansas, Hickman attended Harding College (now Harding University) in Searcy before transferring to the University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville, from which he received his law degree. He worked three summers scaling logs at a lumber camp for the U.S. Forest Service near Fresno, California, before graduating from UA in 1958 with a law degree.[1]

Hickman became the Chancellor of Arkansas, and in 1976 ran as a Democrat for election to the state supreme court; he was unopposed in the general election.[2]

Hickman resigned his seat on the court ten months early, reporting himself as burned out and wanting to travel.[3]
