Habit or Routine Practice and Corroboration.

Habit or Routine Practice and Corroboration.

• A. Corroboration
• B. Eyewitness
• C. Corroboration or Eyewitness
• D. None

Answer: (C)

Habit or routine practice evidence is admitted to show how a person or organization typically acts under a given set of circumstances. To prove that such a habit exists, you can rely on either corroborating evidence—demonstrating multiple similar instances of the conduct—or on a direct eyewitness who observed the routine practice. Because either approach can establish the pattern, the best choice is the one that encompasses both: corroboration or eyewitness. This reflects that habit evidence is valued for its regularity and predictability, and it can be supported by other acts or by someone who actually saw the routine in action. Choosing just corroboration would overlook a valid eyewitness avenue, and choosing just eyewitness would overlook corroborating patterns.
