Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a lattice in a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ with trivial center and no compact factors. We introduce a volume invariant for representations of $Gamma$ into $G$, which generalizes the volume invariant for representations of uniform lattices introduced by Goldman. Then, we show that the maximality of this volume invariant exactly characterizes discrete, faithful representations of $Gamma$ into $G$ except for $GammasubsetmathrmPS{L}_{2}mathbbC$ a nonuniform lattice.
