Here's a little tidbit about Cozza's son from the Pgh Tribune Review 4/13
Fourteen candidates are vying for four open seats on Allegheny County Common Pleas Court, giving voters a difficult choice from a field of well-qualified candidates, political observers said.

The candidates include sitting Common Pleas Judges Paul Cozza, 52, of Baldwin Township and Bill Ward, 61, of Mt. Lebanon, both of whom Gov. Tom Corbett appointed last year;

Observers said Cozza and Ward, whom the Senate confirmed last summer, are among the front-runners, since both have experience on the bench.
Cozza “is a real working-class kid who worked hard to be a lawyer and get to the bench,” said state Sen. Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills.

A federal judge in 1991 barred Cozza's father, Theodore Cozza — the longtime president of Teamsters Local 211, which represented truck drivers for the Pittsburgh Press — from the labor union for ties to organized crime. Theodore Cozza, twice the target of a federal investigation, died in 1996.

Paul Cozza did not return calls for comment.

“He is a humble individual, which is a characteristic that you don't find often in my profession,” said Pittsburgh attorney Robert Del Greco, Cozza's friend.
