Born in Searcy, Arkansas, Hickman attended Harding College in Searcy before transferring to the University of Arkansas 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.

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