Abstract
We explore the possibilities for constructing lagrangian descriptions of three-dimensional superconformal classical gauge theories that contain a Chern-Simons term, but no kinetic term, for the gauge fields. Classes of such theories with Script N = 1 and Script N = 2 supersymmetry are found. However, interacting theories of this type with Script N = 8 supersymmetry do not exist.
