Jacob was born on January 14, 1845, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Julius Jacob.

He graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1864 and from Columbia Law School in 1866. He was admitted to the bar in 1867 and began a private law practice in New York City. He also edited a number of legal works, including eleven volumes of the Digest of the English Common Law from 1879 to 1886 and New York Common Pleas Report in volumes ten through seventeen of Daly's Reports in 1894.
