{{quote|[W]hen Justice Davis died in 1937, Governor Fred P. Cone appointed his former law partner, Roy H. Chapman, to the bench. Justice Chapman, a native of Lake Butler, Florida, attended the East Seminary at Gainesville and Stetson University Law School. He then practiced law with Fred P. Cone for twenty-five years. While on the bench, he became notorious for his advocacy of the "little people." A legend developed that once when a railroad attorney was about to begin argument on a railroad negligence case, Justice Chapman leaned over and asked the attorney, "It hit the little woman didn't it?" When the attorney conceded that it had, Justice Chapman allegedly wanted to hear no more and proceeded to rule against the railroad."^[2]}}
