Practice question from Evidence Law

A __ under FRE 406 is a person's regular response to a repeated specific situation, and evidence of it __ admissible to prove conduct on a particular occasion.

Answer

["habit","is"]

Explanation

Under FRE 406, evidence of a person's habit or an organization's routine practice is admissible to prove that on a particular occasion the person or organization acted in accordance with the habit or routine practice. Habit is more specific and regular than character—it involves a repeated, automatic response to a particular situation. Unlike character evidence, habit evidence is admissible and no corroboration or eyewitness is required.
