Wooley was born in in 1953. At the time of his birth, his family was living in Alexandria, where his father was principal of what is now the Louisiana Special Education Center. His parents drove to Natchitoches for Robert's birth, so that he would be born in the same clinic as his older brother.
Wooley attended Ouachita Parish High School in Monroe, where his father headed another educational institution for special-needs children. As the son of an educator, academics were important to Wooley from a young age. After he graduated from high school in 1971, he attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe, from which he received a degree in business administration in 1974. He obtained his law degree in 1977 from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
Wooley briefly practiced law in Opelousas, but relocated to Vidalia in eastern Louisiana to engage in practice law with then State Senator James H. "Jim" Brown, a Democrat.
