Cohn and Marks

Cohn and Marks is a law firm co-founded in 1944 by Marcus Cohn and Leonard Marks. It specializes in communications cases, especially the commercial evolution of television, and is located in Washington, D.C. Clients of Cohn and Marks have included the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) and radio and television stations owned by Lady Bird Johnson.

In 1955 Leonard Marks, who was at that time NAEB general counsel, encouraged the association to seek federal funds for the construction of educational television facilities. Assisted by Senators Lyndon B. Johnson and Warren Magnuson, the legislation was introduced into the 85th, 86th and 87th Congresses. Enacted into law in 1962, the Educational Television Facilities Act provided matching funds to states for non-commercial television stations.
