Covo’s scholarship has appeared or is forthcoming in the Stanford Law Review, the Columbia Law Review, and the University of Chicago Law Review, among other journals. His work has been featured in legal blogs and discussed in Sportico: The Business of Sports. Covo also authored a short essay for Slate. His recent book chapter, co-authored with Professor Abbe Gluck and Linda Fried, MD, has been published in the book Law and the 100-Year Life (Cambridge University Press).

Covo’s papers have been selected for the Ninth Annual Health Law Works-in-Progress Retreat at Seton Hall Law School (2025), the Eighth Stanford Law-and-Society Conference for Junior Researchers (2024) and the 2023 Junior Scholars Conference at the University of Michigan, among other conferences and symposia.
