Peck graduated from Wyoming High School in Wyoming, Ohio. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Miami University in 1935 and his J.D. from University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1938.
After graduating from law school in 1938, Peck was admitted to the bar in Ohio and entered private practice in Cincinnati with the firm of Peck, Shaffer and Williams from 1938 to 1942.
