Wann graduated magna cum laude from Millsaps College and earned a J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law. He served as special projects editor of the Mississippi Law Journal during his legal studies. His academic training led to a litigation practice in state and federal courts and a broad range of matters over his career.
