I need help choosing a topic for a paper related to law and literature.

Thank you for your guidance.
The topic of writing about the ethical aspects of law and how literature captures the emotional aspects of law and provides insight into the human condition is very interesting to me.  My paper's length is to be 25 pages.  I have already read Kafka's "The Trial".  I found "The Trial" to be a somewhat difficult read, where Kafka depicts a lack of legal/justice system.
Can you suggest other more modern readings that would help me with these topics?
 

The theory of law in literature proposes that novelistic accounts of the law, including narratives about legal issues, offer lawyers and judges an understanding of the law that is not available only from studying the law itself. Scholars in this area such as Richard H. Weisberg believe that texts such as Kafka's The Trial and The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky allow people in the field of law to understand the emotions and experiences of others and to appreciate the social and ethical components of law. According to Weisberg, the study of literature is critical to understanding the ethical aspects of law. Your paper might focus on how a book such as The Brothers Karamazov helps the reader understand the plight of people in a legal trial. How does literature capture the emotional aspects of the law and provide insight into the human condition, particularly around issues such as guilt, innocence, equality, and hypocrisy, in a way that the law alone cannot?
