Acie Law IV was born January 25, 1985 in Dallas, Texas. His father Acie III, who used to play as a point guard at Navarro Junior Colleage, is a mechanic. His mother Dolores works as an office clerk. Acie has an elder brother, Lamont and two younger sisters: Vivien and Frances.
His father wanted him to learn the basis of the game well before the decision to play professionally. “My dad was real strict about it. All I did was work on dribbling and passing until I was about 9 or 10 years old. He wanted me to learn a different side of the game. So in middle school I started playing at this rec center called Thurgood Marshall. And the stuff you learn there is how to compete and how to be fearless in the face of whatever adversity you’re facing.”
Acie Law started to attend Kimball High School and soon he was chosen the freshman of the year. Law scored 35 points in the Texas State High School All-Star Game, leading his team to a victory. However, after an excellent season Kimball High School lost the state championships game because the opposing team scored from the distance just as the buzzer announced the end of the game.
