The blocks have same sized logs on opposite sides of the block, unlike a traditional LC block.

They both are similar but a log cabin is made adding strips counter clockwise, so each strip is longer as you go, where courthouse steps are strips sewn on opposite sides of the center block which makes the stair step effect.

It is a log cabin.
Here is the court house steps. There is a difference in the lay out.
