Freaking board swallowed my epic poast on this topic.
Short version:
I've done this for a while (NY, V30).
You will piss off many of your co-workers, who will have to pick up your slack while you are away doing things they don't really understand ("Drill? Is that like marching band practice?").
You will probably have a hard time doing well in your military career and keeping up with the firm's demands. Especially as an officer, you have to deal with all kinds of random business during the month between drills. People get injured, people get sick, people want to transfer, people want to go on extra AT, people are mobilizing, etc. Staying on top of that stuff takes a substantial amount of time.
Depending on what you want to do, reserve service can be worth it. I think it also helps keep you grounded. But it's not something to do as a hobby.

It would be a lot easier to justify your reserve duty if you came into the firm as an existing reservist. But the fact that you are affirmatively seeking out this service at this point, after already having been at the firm for a few years, would raise some eyebrows from your partners. I'm not saying it's not a noble pursuit, but some people may view it as a way for you to have a built-in excuse to avoid work for a few weeks a year.
That being said, there's no way they would fire you explicitly for this reason. There may also be some partners (ex-military guys especially) who think what you are doing is worthwhile. But I think on a net basis it would be a negative for your BIGLAW career, at least at your present firm.
If I were you I'd try to leverage BIGLAW + reserve into a sweet fedgov gig, where reserve duty is a point of pride.

Is there any reason you are thinking about Army Reserve over National Guard?
I've been thinking about National Guard. I understand they do go overseas, but I also think I would like the domestic missions.
