I prove that for a Banach space XX the conjugate space X∗X^* has the WRNP if and only if for every complete probability space (Ω,Σ,μ)(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu), every μ\mu-continuous multimeasure of σ\sigma-finite variation that takes as its values closed (closed bounded, weak∗^*-compact) and convex subsets of X∗X^* can be represented as a Pettis integral of a multifunction with closed bounded (closed bounded, weak∗^* compact) and convex values. This generalizes the known characterization of conjugate Banach spaces with the weak Radon-Nikodým property via functions (cf. the author, The weak Radon-Nikodým property of Banach spaces, Studia Math. 64 (1979) 151–174, or Pettis integral, in: Handbook of Measure Theory I, Elsevier, Amsterdam (2002) 532–586). The main tool is a lifting of a multifunction, that is Effros measurable with respect to the weak∗^* open subsets of X∗X^*.
